It allows YOU the time and space to examine things you have heard and seen, to determine what has merit (because some of it does) and what is just MLC spew.
His talk of you stealing things, probably spew.
Talk of you working too much, oe whatever, maybe true...
See the difference?
While only you can decide if a fresh start is what you need, and its possible that you do need it, please don't jump feet first into anything you might regret.
Take your time to see where you might want to go, what you want to do....
Friends and family, great intentions...
They don't want to see you hurt anymore...
Giving up...while the quickest way to "get over it"...may not be what is best for you and your healing...
Only YOU know that, no one else, even us here on the boards...
The fastest way from A to B MAY be a straight line, but you just might miss some wonderful stuff along the way...
I can tell you, if I had chosen that route, the things I have gained and learned, and people I have met, by taking the bumpy winding road, would not be a part of me now...
Just don't rush yourself.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
